This Group Provides Free or Cheap Sex Toys to Women Who Can't Afford Them

Bringing sex toys into the bedroom — whether it's on our own or with a partner — can be the extra nudge (or, er, buzz) a lot of us women need to get to the finish line. But for whatever reason, whether the steep price or the discomfort of asking a salesperson "which way to the vibrating cock rings," shopping for them can be a little awkward for some. Thankfully, in what may be the best news ever, one group is trying to change that.

Activist organization Sexy Liberation is offering free sex toys as a means of closing the "orgasm gap," the Huffington Post reports, which, like the ever-present pay gap, has most women reaping far fewer benefits than our male counterparts. In fact, the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior found that while 91 percent of men got off during their last sexual encounter, only 64 percent of straight women did.

"Many people don't have access to or haven't been exposed to the exciting world of sexual exploration, we want to help people, especially women, by being a stepping stone," the company explains on its website. "Personal experimentation with sex aids can help women discover and embrace their own sources of pleasure. And a woman who knows herself sexually will feel more confident talking honestly with her partner about her needs and desires. If you are a woman in a relationship that is having trouble getting off, we are here for you." The company said that it first began giving away its products at local clinics, college gender-studies departments, feminist gatherings, and protests, but it recently brought its efforts online to make the initiative accessible to everyone.

Sexy Liberation offers a range of free sex toys that normally retail in the $5-to-$15 range, as well as discounts on more expensive products. Free options include a vibrating cock ring, a cute purple silicone butt plug, and a range of teeny, tiny vibrators that look like drugstore lipsticks in a range of colors. All you have to do is add to cart and check out the way you normally would. In a few business days, a "discreet" package will show up at your doorstep, and you'll be in for a night of self-induced pleasure.

If you want to support the initiative and help women who can't afford them grab a free toy, consider purchasing the forever-favorite "Rabbit" vibrator, which retails for $30 as opposed to the regular $50, and helps Sexy Liberation continue to distribute its less expensive products for free, and everybody wins.
